MARATHON DUEL AT WIMBLEDON
PATTY & TRABERT BEAT SEDGMAN & MCGREGOR IN A 94-GAME MATCH
Wimbledon, July, 6.
The longest set ever played at Wimbledon was recorded dur ing the titanic four hours' men's doubles struggle today in which the Americans, Budge Patty and Tony Trabert, beat the Australians, Frank Sedgman and Ken McGregor, 6-4, 31-29, 7-9 and 6.2.
The start was delayed owing to light rain in the Wimbledon Lawn Tennis Championships here today. A minute before Miss Louise Brough, the American holder of the Wimbledon women's singles title, and her compatriot, Miss Doris Hart, were due to open play on the Centre Court in their semi-final, the rain fell and groundsmen removed the act and covered the Court with tarpaulins. The sky was overcast and remained threatening. The crowd were warned that no money would be refunded if play was postponed or curtailed.
The semi-finals of the women's singles were being contested by four Ameri- cans for the fifth year running. Mrs Margaret Dupont, the 1948 winner, and Mrs Patricia Todd, were to meet in the other semi-final. Matches in all the doubles were also being deckled. Play began after an hour's delay.
